Hi Daniel.
I have forwarded your announcement to Andy Pullman
here at BU, but maybe if you encourage him as well he
might write something.  You met him when you were
here.

I am off for two weeks to the Canaries (but will stop
in La Coruna on the way back; becoming one of my
favourite places!) and think of you....

I am writing the acompanying piece for Princess
Margaret that talks about how it came about and how it
exists in cyberspace.....I will get that to you before
your deadline.

Hope all goes well ....
Kip
